Sherlock Holmes in Comics

Sherlock Holmes has appeared in numerous English-language comics, graphic novels, and manga over the years. Here are some of them, arranged in the following categories, with a focus on collections, book-format comics, and stories in print.

• Classic Stories — comic adaptations of Sherlock Holmes stories written by the original author, Arthur Conan Doyle
• Canon Expansions — new stories featuring the classic version of the Sherlock Holmes character
• Revamps & New Spins — different character takes or settings, often modernized, from the original
• Related Characters — comics and manga with lead characters who aren’t Sherlock Holmes or John Watson, but who are closely related, including Enola, Violet, Sheffield, and Irene Adler
• Back Issues — Older comics most often found as single issues in the collectible market
• Webcomics & Fan Work — Online, webcomic, and fan versions of Sherlock Holmes in comics

There is a chronological listing of all books covered so far, or an alphabetical listing. (The webcomics aren’t included here, as few of them have official release dates or titles.)

This site is an ongoing project, with more titles to be added. Follow @Sherlock_Comics on Twitter for updates.
